Whether you are out for business, an event or just plainly trying to break your daily routine, staying at Novotel is a great choice! Located just beside Araneta Coliseum, this is the perfect place to come home to after a concert. 😊

Managed by Accor Hotels, the same hotel group that operates Sofitel and Raffles, you can expect the same great hospitality at Novotel. It’s a 4-star hotel with 401 rooms all designed with a modern vibe while still keeping its classy style.

The hotel lobby was bright and welcoming. Check-in process was also a swift. I booked for a Superior Room but they upgraded it to the next category which is a Deluxe Room, for free! 🤗 Aside from that, we were also able to check out late without extra charge. 👍

What we got in the Deluxe Room:

Flatscreen LED TV

City view – Araneta Coliseum entrance which is perfect so I can monitor the volume of people at the concert 😁

The room was also well lit with different switches so you can choose which lights/lamps to use and combine them to your preference. Let me also highlight the abundance of power outlets! I swear, you will not run out of sockets to charge your gadgets all at the same time. Both sides of the bed has them plus some more at the front wall and bathroom. Plus they have included a panel with all the connecting ports that you might need; from hdmi, usb, audio/video ports for the tv and more!

The hotel also has an in-house restaurant and ice cream store. But if you want to eat out, there’s Gateway Mall just few meters away and different restaurants at the other side of the road (Army Navy, Pizza Hut, Bonchon, J.Co, Buddy’s, etc).

Amenities

There’s a kid play area, gym and swimming pool at the 6th Floor. The Premiere Lounge is at the 24th floor which can be accessed by guests staying at least in an Executive Suite.

There is a kids pool and an adult pool with lounge chairs and lifeguard.

Breakfast

Our accomodation comes with free buffet breakfast at the Food Exchange at the ground floor. They have a wide variety of food choices from usual Filipino breakfast to Middle Eastern dishes. There are different kinds of breads, pizza, cereal, salad with dressing of your choice, cold cuts, pastries, arabic condiments, a pickle station, eggs cooked your style, make your own taho!, congee station, freshly pressed juices, and most importantly 2 kinds of bacon! 🤗

As if traditional bacon is not enough, they added Canadian Bacon to the selection! It is a low fat version of the usual bacon but equally good! 🥓

For me though, the star of the breakfast would be the Stromboli. It’s like a turnover filled with thick slice of meat, almost like bacon. Super tasty and a perfect combination of meaty and starchy. It’s like a pizza but not really. 😋

In all, this hotel has by-far provided one of the best staycations I’ve had. Staff are nice, always all smiles and willing to help. The price? I suggest that you check their website or FB page from time to time for available promos and perks. I got this stay for P4,500 from their summer promo which is a much lower rate than an already discounted price from other 3rd party booking sites.

Let me end this post with the main reason why I chose this hotel. I attended day 2 of Lany’s Manila concert and didn’t want to stress myself commuting with the surge of crowd coming from the show. Since Novotel is just next door to Araneta, it was perfect. So here’s Lany with their hit ILYSB as their closing song of the night. ❤️🌹

Writing this blog post on the last day of 2017.. and what better topic to post than a review of the good to best food i have tried this year (i would have done a ‘where NOT to eat’ but i realized that i don’t have photos of food that ended as not masarap) 😂

My Stuff – Yellow Cab

I have high respect for the person who came up with this! For P190, you get your choice of pasta, chicken wings and pizza. I discovered this in January and has been my go-to meal whenever i can’t decide whether i want to eat pizza, chicken or pasta.. so why not get all? 💛

Bacon Burger – Betoy’s (Kawit)

We only ate at Betoy’s once but that doesn’t mean their food was bad.. I think we just never had a chance because food placed popped out like mushrooms this year haha. But honestly their bacon burger was not bad at all.

McDok’s Latin American Chicken (Noveleta)

..with chimichuri sauce. Surprisingly good but we never went back because i honestly felt their menu was expensive. We went there in Feb though, so i’m not sure if their menu already changed.

My forever and ever favorite tapsihan in the world! haha Seriously.. some of the greatest food come in its simplest form.. and that is Vemouch. I don’t even need to look at their menu; i come in, sit and go like “ate tapsilog with bacon sakin“. 🥓

Silantro (Tagaytay)

I’ve always heard that Silantro is good but I have very low chances of going to Pasig so I never got to try it. So when its Tagaytay branch opened gora agad kami! Actually, soft opening palang sya when we visited. And yes, the rumors are true! Silantro is made up of all good things! So good, I went back again the next day! Although, service the following day sucked (pagbigyan ko na since they are on soft opening) but were still goooood. This reminds me.. I have to go back!

Zubuchon’s Pritchon (Makati)

Prito + Lechon = Pritchon. So bad its good! Fun fact: we had this meal after a 3-hour badminton session.. so i guess we deserve it haha

South StrEat Container Food Park (Silang)

We all know how food parks were all over since last year but we went our way to Silang to try this one. I don’t remember from which stall i bought food from but over all, good food with good people always works. 👍

Breakfast at Belmont Hotel (Pasay City)

For me to say that your hotel’s breakfast is great, i should see (and eat) bacon. So yes Belmont Hotel, your breakfast buffet is great! haha look at that beauty! 😍

Grilled Porkchops – Tomahawk Chops and Grill (Pasay)

Another sulit meal this year is this grilled porkchop plate from Tomahawk. If i remember correctly, this is only for P200 something and i can barely finish it.. and that says a lot about the quantity haha! Oh and yes, ansarap nung rice!

Gringo’s (Pasay)

Another drool inducive meal this year is from Gringo’s! Can’t remember what we ate specifically.. but I remember that they were one of the few restos that opened during good friday around MOA area. So buti nalang and we got to try their good fil-mex food.

Ben’s Halo Halo Ice Cream

True to its tag line.. this is indeed the creamiest halo halo! I think they mixed milk with water then turned it to ice then shaved it then poof if became super creamy and milky halo halo! haha I don’t know though where you can buy it since i tried it when they joined the food bazaar during a festival at Wind Residences, Tagaytay.

Neul Bolm Restaurant (Tagaytay)

This is my first try at Korean food and it did not disappoint. Fairly priced Samgyupsal with up to 2 servings of each side. I also like the korean paste / sauce that they served. Realization: buti nalang talaga natuto na ako kumain ng lettuce so i get to enjoy food this this. 😊

Crispy Kangkong – Balinsasayaw (Tagaytay)

This, for me, is the best food find of 2017 among all the food i tried during the many times i went to Tagaytay this year hehe. Perfectly coated and fried Kangkong, yes my friends this is a vegetable! haha And oh hello to the ever reliable crispy pata! 😍

Monster BBQ Burger – Xyan Cafe (Cavite City

Let me just rave about how underrated this place is! I mean, how many of you have been to this cafe given na taga-Cavite City ka din? Seriously, you should pay this place a visit for some burger and fries fix. They aso have pasta and milkshakes which are good too. Located at the far end of R. Palma Street, San Antonio.

Garlic Parmesan Wedges – Cafe Antix (Cavite City)

I think there’s nothing left to argue that Cafe Antix serves some of the best burgers, pizza, pasta, cheesecake, coffee, blended drink, and more here in Cavite City. Taas na nga kamay ko oh! 🙌 So let me just remind everyone, in case you haven’t noticed yet, that they also have potato wedges that would go well with basically anything you order haha. So go ahead, munch munch munch!

Chili Dog – Dog House Diner (Kawit)

I am also a fan of chili con carne, even the one from 711 pinapatulan ko. And for me, pasado tong Chili Dog nila; even made perfect by their buy one get one chicken wings promo during the time we visited. Ayos din yung chili cheese fries! Check their FB page as they usually promos from time to time.

Garlic Chix – Chix ni Calix (Cavite City)

One of our favorite delivery food here in our hometown. Savory chicken that you can eat in one sitting if you wanted to. They don’t have a dine in place but you can just contact them at their FB page for lunch and dinner deliveries. Winner din ang buttered shrimps!

Shoyu Ramen – Mendokoro Ramenba (Makati)

Indeed the best ramen in Manila! Had to wait for about an hour to be seated but I am telling you, it is worth the wait! From the broth to the noodles to the chashu, everything is perfect together! This beats my former favorite ramen that is Umauma haha

Beef Ribs and Brisket – Holy Smokes BBQ (Makati)

For legit smoked bbq cravings, go here! They serve authentic Texas-style barbecue smoked using local fruit wood. This is the kind that you see at the Food Network and make you drool. Medyo pricy nga lang, a decent portion will cost you about P500 with 1 side order. But this is as legit as it can get so no harm in splurging once in a while.

Kanto Freestyle Breakfast (Makati)

Cheap but good, instagrammable food. We tried their New Zealand Tapa and Vigan Longganisa which are both tasty; also comes in decent serving size. Their ube pancake is also recommended!

Chicken Wings – Jan Rhiz Restaurant (Cavite City)

Another sulit deal can found here as they occasionally have P199 unli chicken wings promo; with rice and drinks. Surprisingly meaty chicken parts as well so sulit talaga hehe! They serve rice meals, cakes and boodle fight set meals regularly when the unli promo is not available.

678 Korean BBQ Restaurant (Pasay)

Aside from the food, this place is nice because it closes late. They even have unli samgyupsal starting at 11pm. We tried their pork belly and other korean dishes that i can’t remember hehe. Authentic, affordable korean food.👍

Mcdonald’s Sta. Clara (Bulacan)

Wala lang, just wanted to mention that i went from Cavite City to Sta. Maria Bulacan to visit Maine’s Mcdo branch. Haha Of course they have the usual Mcdo menu; it was twister fries season during that time. 😊

Onyang’s Street Wings (Cavite City)

This has slightly become a comfort food. They have several flavors of chicken to choose from, plus variety of fries, burgers, pizza; add to that unli drinks for every meal that you order. This place is new, I think they opened in November, and is usually jam packed. My favorite is 6 pieces of chicken for only P100!

Chili Garlic Wings – Oinkneng’s (Cavite City)

Speaking of chicken wings, this has got to be the best. This is an easy eat, as in i can munch 10 pieces without noticing it.. and it actually tastes good! Plus they deliver for free along with their other specialties like sisig, lechon kawali, etc. We had this for noche buena and tonight again for media noche.

Breakfast at Concha’s Garden Cafe (Quezon City)

I had the rare opportunity to go to QC this year and of course i used it to visit Concha’s QC branch. Good thing they have started to serve breakfast as early as 7am. I tried their Vigan longganis which tastes as usual but they have really gooood blueberry cheesecake! As in!

Surf & Turf – Mcdonald’s

Last month, Mcdo released a secret menu consisting of 4 new burger varieties. I was able to try the surf and turf; which is very filling considering that it has beef patty and fish fillet. I believe it is still available because i ordered it again last week hehe; just ask for the secret menu before you order.

Longsilog – Bag of Beans (Tagaytay)

This was my first time trying the main branch of BoB, and I liked the garden set up. Food is just okay, but it made up for the ambience. I tried their longganisa meal, just okay hehe.

Matcha Frap – Coffee Project (Kawit)

I am a fan of matcha and i’m glad their frap version is actually nice. Plus their pasta is good too, value for money is 👍. Match-rap!

Detour Travel Cafe (Noveleta)

This new cafe opened last month just almost in front of Gudvibes Store so naturally, we had to try it. Hehe Every table / section is decorated with different travel destinations. Their food is also okay, not too pricey and enough to be fill hungry tummies.

Bacon Slab – Poco Deli (Makati)

I’ve seen bloggers rave how good this bacon is and i finally got to try it went we went to Ayala Triangle to watch the lights show. And yes, the bloggers are correct! This is so sinful but so good; just look at that thick slab! The serving is good for 2 but enough for 1 bacon lover like me. 😍

7Twenty7 American Diner (Kawit)

I got excited when i saw this new diner here in Cavite, i told myself i have to go asap, and asap i went. 😊 Everything was as expected; it has the retro diner vibe complete with memorabilia and diner inspired tables and chairs. As also expected, it was pricey. I mean, don’t get me wrong.. food tastes good but it would be splurging a lot if you go there, let’s say, weekly. Make sure to have your camera ready when you go here; i’m sure you are bound to upload a whole album’s worth of pictures 🤗

Cheesecake of Cafe Moraco (Kawit)

Cafe Moraco has been our go-to after dinner coffee session for the sole reason that it closes late. Little did we know that they have one of the best cheesecakes in town and it’s only P300 (1 whole pie good for 4). I don’t have a photo of it though. It’s so good, ubos agad bago pa ma-picture-an hehe. Anyway, here’s a photo of some of their available drinks.

$1 deals at Pound (Pasay)

We were able to try Pound by Todd English at their new branch at MOA. While on soft opening, they have a $1 menu where you can try some of their bestsellers for $1, yes P50. I love their burger and truffle fries!

Brunch at Chaplin (Makati)

I’ll cap off this post with ouryear-end brunch session yesterday at Chaplin, Century City Mall. It’s an Israeli cafe but they also serve some American and Filipino dishes. I ordered the eggs benedict with Chaplin tea. At first i got worried about the tea kasi andaming ganap hehe: ginger, cinnamon sticks, fresh leaves, etc. At first i was like elck, but as i sip it turns out that its’s actually good and refreshing! Lakas maka-tita, sobrang bet! haha That wraps up my 2017 food trip. I didn’t include food from our trips because those should be in a different post; when, i don’t know. haha A forever favorite that is not listed is Yabu! I think i went there about 6 or 7 times this year and each time feels like the first time. Always amazing!

As i mentioned in the beginning, i also had a fair share of ‘not masarap‘ food such as the Starbucks’ Franken Frappuccino, Jollibee’s Strawberry Fries, Pizza at All American (All Home Kawit), KFC’s salted egg yolk chicken, Spinach with Yogurt of Mister Kabab, and the top honor (horror) which is Neri’s Gourmet Tuyo. haha 😁✌️

Food is one of our basic needs.. though we want to keep it simple and light, there are times that we just need to give in to our cravings. So here is my share of foodie places here in Cavite which I have tried this year. 😋 Here goes.. 365 days and 10 lbs later…

Topps Pizza – Cavite City
Although pizza is their specialty, I usually go to this place for the creamy, not too sweet graham cake! Yours for only P35 if my memory serves me right.

Angelo’s Barbecue – Kawit
Tried this place few times early this year but never really got fond of going back. Not amazing, not bad either.

Zark’s – SM Bacoor
If all you are after is quantity, then you will love this place. Not bad for big burger cravings while on a budget.

Beantage Cafe – Bacoor
Come for the food, stay for the ambience.

Claud’s Cafe – Cavite City
Our favorite hole in the wall here in Cavite City! I always order their lechon kawali!

Sebo Pacific – Bacoor
If you are feeling extra young and ready to endure a “putok batok” meal, then go here. Their sizzling bulalo is yummmm and most of their meals are for only P100+.

Tarapumwesto – Noveleta
Yes, this is the place which gor famous for serving food in a skillet. They also got into serving drinks in a kettle. We used to frequent this place but not anymore due to personal reasons. haha

MiYu Teppanyaki Restaurant – Cavite City
Affordable Japanese food few meters away from our house. so yes I will definitely go back! haha

Bulldog Joe’s – Gen. Trias
Authentic fish and chips cooked by Joe! 😊 They also have other european inspired meals.

Mam Reyes Food Haus – Noveleta
In all honesty, I am always satisfied when I eat here. Affordable, home cooked, well thought of food. Though the place is actually their house, it doesn’t feel awkward at all and the ambience at the terrace is nice. 👍

A&M Grill – Noveleta
Of course, we all have isaw cravings once in a while. What better way to have it for dinner than get a bunch of street food on the grill and pair them with paella rice. And yes, at the side of the street!

Fiorgelato – Cavite City
You scream ice cream? Good thing we have a gelato place here. You can dine in or get a cone on the go, it’s your choice.

Coffeeville – Kawit
I’ve only been here once with a sole purpose of washing down all the grilled food I had for dinner that night. I had a coffee, which was decent. Nothing much to say.

Concha’s Garden Cafe – Tagaytay
This is where they say the best okoy is served. Tried it but I can’t agree to that since I’m no okoy expert. So let me
just show you their crispy pata! haha Btw, I find this place pricy. If not for Alden, I wouldn’t even go here haha

Burger Bites – Noveleta
This is one of those places that you just have to try because the tarp oitside says “unli drinks + fries”. For less than P100, you get a burger or hotdog sandwich which looks very good in photos. As for the taste, pwede na rin hehe

Dreamland Arts & Crafts Cafe – Tagaytay
The problem with themed cafes is that you pay extra for the ambience. Given that, food should also be good. As with Dreamland, I think it’s all ambience.

Cafe Antix – Cavite City
Raclette is a kind of cheese which became a thing this year. Thanks to Cafe Antix for bringing it closer to us; now we can have our favorite burger or pasta with a serving of Raclette for that extra cheese that we need in life. 😋

Shawrap – Cavite City
Hands down the best shawarma I’ve had so far. haha! Their chicken kebab with rice is also a reason to keep coming back!

Sasahama Japanese Restaurant – Kawit
This resto has been here for 16 yrs but I’ve only tried it this year. Didn’t disappoint! Their katsu curry is an instant favorite!

Charito by Bag of Beans – Tagaytay
Good food with good view. Tried the beef medallion with red wine onion sauce. I was hesitant at first because I never liked onions but I knew there is something about this dish that I just had to try it haha and I’m glad I did! Yum!

Aside from those that I mentioned, there will always be the usual favorites like Rachie’s porksilog and tamales, Lago de Dalahican’s Mexicano Sisig, Oinkneng’s bagoong rice and chicken wings, Aurora’s Korean Porkchop, Vemouch’s Tapsilog with bacon and many moooore!

Yes these are mostly on my side of Cavite. I don’t really get to go much around Imus / Dasma area, maybe next year! 😁 Do you have other food places that you can recommend which I haven’t tried? Let me know! 😊

Valentine’s day or not, Cafe Antix is undoubtedly my favorite restaurant / cafe here in Cavite City. It’s my go to place whenever I crave some good food and want to relax. So we are here again last Friday morning for breakfast and to try their new sandwich.

This is Cafe Antix’s homey interiors. This is how clean and cosy it is everyday (minus hearts dangling from the ceiling). There are several antique items and ornaments on display too, from vintage phones, tv set, clock, typewriters and others. But food is a different story! Their menu consists of unique burgers, sandwiches, pasta, coffee, frappes which you won’t see anywhere in Cavite! 🙂

Oreo Cheesecake. This is my 4-year old niece’s choice. First time to try it since we usually go for blueberry. This is surprisingly good! Every bite is refreshing especially if you dip it in some cool whipped cream!

Bacon Mushroon Mozarella Bypass. Chino usually goes for a burger when dining here. This one has a glorious grilled beef patty, topped with bacon, mushroom and melted mozarella cheese with barbecue sauce. I used to also always have burgers here until I met my current favorite. haha

Bacon Mozarella Tuna Pasta. Also known as the BMT pasta. If you know me well enough, you would know how much I am in love with this dish. haha Yes, it may seem simple and ordinary but this is perfect for me! I have already tagged it as the best pasta here in Cavite City! I feel this is crafted by the cafe’s owner for me haha Since they introduced it months ago, I have never gone here without ordering this. 🙂 ❤

Meatball Hoagie. Sister is trying this new dish but she doesn’t seem so happy about it. I think this is the first in Cafe Antix which didn’t make us go wow. It’s marinara sauce has very strong tomato taste though meatballs are good. We tried it without cheese though because sister doesn’t eat cheese. But I’m not closing my doors, I am willing to try it again next time we go. I know I should try it with cheese to get its full potential hehe

Mocha Frappe and Blueberry Soda. These are the usuals but they also offer a wide variety of coffee and non coffee based drinks. Plus I love the fact that they serve frappes in mason jars. 🙂

If you ever go to Cavite City, make sure to try Cafe Antix then thank me later. haha

These are just few of many photos taken that day and these will never be able to justify the success of the tour. There were more or less 600 people in attendance in each school! The crowd was awesome and crazy (in a good, tolerable way). Abra sang Gayuma in both schools and the audience sang along and did non stop shouting! SSCR was my alma mater and I’ve never seen that place like that! haha Thank you Cavite for giving Abra and his team a warm welcome. Thank you too to Abra and Josef for trusting GudVibes Clothing with this Cavite tour. I hope you guys had a great time in our province as much as Caviteños enjoyed your visit. 😊 See you at the concert and good luck!

If you are craving for good Chinese food, you do not have to travel far just to satisfy it. Right here in Cavite is a nice restaurant serving authentic Chinese food for a reasonable price.

King Bee is located in CEPZA Bacao, Cavite. From Noveleta proper, we took a 10-min. tricycle ride for P50 flat rate. Once you see the huge CEPZA gate, which you will not miss, look for the King Bee logo at the right side of the road and you’re in for some Chinese fix.

Interior is of course Chinese inspired, with matching Chinese collared servers. The place is not crowdy too, considering it’s a Saturday night. As soon as we seat, we have been given the menu and they promptly took our orders.

We started with some hot tea to warm up our tummies while waiting for the food to be served. After about 15 minutes, we’re ready to eat! 🙂

Our choice of food for tonight are Yang Chow Rice (small), Pork Siomai (P80), Fried Dumplings (P90) and King Bee Crispy Chicken (half @ P250) plus a bottomless Iced Tea. I can’t remember how much the drinks and rice cost, but total tab was P800. Their menu also has a vast selection of Chinese cuisine from pork, beef, chicken to noodles, rice and dimsum.

Their Yang Chow rice was really good, and can serve up to 4. Siomai is also big and served in a wooden dimsum steamer, which makes it more authentic. The dumpling is also nice and chicken has very crispy skin and tasty meat. Price was justified with how the food was well presented and tasted good.

I recommend this restaurant, whether you are celebrating an occasion or just want to have a good meal. Only downside, they don’t have wifi. But I will still come back anytime! 👍😁

Hello there 2013! Here comes my first blog post for the year, inabot nang Feb 4! hehe Well, I’m waiting for iTunes to download, there are 4 minutes left so I decided to press a new blog entry.

2013 has been good so far.. telling by how January went. I spent the first day of the year at work in Makati. Me and my night shift buddies welcomed the new year in the middle of Buendia Ave, right on the street with a bottle of beer. After 20 mins of rushed booze, we’re back to work! hehe

Davie, Che, JM, Borge, Carla, Me and Jaybon.

First half of January has been busy for us and GudVibes clothing.

January 5th was the opening of GV Tiki Stop / mini event at Alima, Bacoor. We had our ka-vibes to there to support the event where Rapido and other local rappers performed. After the opening, we headed to Yakinihaw to celebrate Icaruz’s birthday.

We also had another major event: Kalampag : Diwang Magdiwang last Jan. 12, 2012 at the Noveleta Rooftop. This event was in cooperation with DPI printing c/o Sir Kon and with Tabakk c/o BLKD. This event has been set to provide entertainment to Caviteños and mainly let them experience the thrill of Hip Hop concerts and an actual rap battle. We have organized some of the biggest Fliptop emcees to come to Noveleta for a night of fun!

We had about 300 people in attendance and although there has been some set backs with the production, the feedback from the audience has been good. Suffice it to say that the event ‘survived’. hehe All in all, the emcees and the crowd had enjoyed the show, which makes this a successful event for us.

We are also going to be an sponsor of another major event this February. I will be posting about that soon. 🙂

I’ll try and keep this updated again since I will have a lot to post about. Summer is coming, blog posts are coming as well! weeee!

Since my last post that we were in cafe Antix, I have been there several times more. And since I’m trying out this mobile blogging thing, I’ve decided to post about this nice coffee shop here in Cavite City.

I have wanted to try the Garlic Shrimp Pomodoro before and today I finally did. Not bad for P130 for the hefty serving and tasty sauce.

They also have burgers now. yay! I tried the basic By Pass Burger (P95) just to get an idea of how it is. This is half pound beef patty, nicely cooked and topped with cheese, tomato, lettuce and onions (which I picked out). The patty is extra thick and juicy with every bite. I can almost compare it to Ozzy Cozzy’s Juicy Lucy.:D

My choice of drink for today is a can of sparkling grape Welch’s. It’s not everyday that you get to drink this one. hehe

All in all, another thumbs up for Cafe Antix. They even gave us free ground coffee just because we asked about it and apparently those aren’t for sale. Thanks and I’m looking forward to the Philly Cheesesteak that they will be introducing soon. 🙂

For a first timer in Cafe Antix, I must be quite impressed and immediately blogged. They have opened for some months now but I have just tried it for breakfast today.

First off: the interiors look very nice. I suddenly realized why it was named Cafe Antix, it means antiques! or perhaps I assumed hehe. The colors play from brown to black, and has a very homey feel.. or make that very ancestral home feel. They had vintage fans, capiz windows, and even am old tv cabinet. But the most exciting of all is their old-style phone that actually works. so cute! hehe

They also have an array of drinks. From lattes to frappes to sodas and milk teas. There are also choices of cakes and pasta to munch on.

I had the Hashed Beef Penne Pasta (P110). This is corned beef in tomato-based sauce with garlic and onions that I, of course, had to pick out hehe. It has a generous serving and enough to keep you full for hours.

We also had a slice of an Oreo Cookie Cake (P95). Oreo. Cookie. Cake. Need I say more? 🙂 Let me just also commend them for not serving us the Blueberry Cheesecake, which is our original order since according to them their cakes only have 3-days shelf life. That’s 1 pogi point for Cafe Antix! 🙂

Another pasta we tried is their Spicy Tuna Spinach Pasta (P95). This is spicy tuna chunks tossed in vegetable oil with spinach leaves and olives. This isn’t too spicy which is a good thing.

Left is a Mocha Frappe (P120) and right is a Strawberry Italian Soda (P55). Both very refreshing. 🙂

Servers there are also accommodating and prompt. Aircon and music was on as soon as we sat down and food was served within 15 minutes. All in all, my first bite of Cafe Antix was a good one. And I will definitely come back again. 🙂

After 1 year and 7 months, more than a thousand shirts, 15+ designs, local and out-of-town events, celebrity endorsements, sponsorship, collaboration and many ka-vibes that supported us along the way.. the GudVibes Store is finally here!

With less than a month in preparation, we have managed to push through with the opening last June 16, 2012. We have announced that the doors will open by 3PM, but to our surprise we have a customer waiting for as early as 12:15PM and he is from Muntinlupa!

Although it has been raining that day, that didn’t stop our ka-vibes to stop over and show support. Thank you to our family, relatives, friends, classmates, neighbors and GV supporters for showing some love! 😀 Advance thanks also to those that are yet to visit.. 😉

With that being told, the response with the store has been overwhelming since. Today is the 5th day of the store and I can say “so far so good”.

We are now in talks of releasing something new for everyone and also other brands that we can retail at the store. We’ll definitely make it your one-stop indie shop.

We are located at 38-C Magdiwang, Noveleta Cavite. Open from 3PM to 9PM (but if you want to arrange for an earlier visit, just let us know).

Finally, here are some photos during the opening. Keep spreading the GudVibes! 🙂
